Mu Qingyan stopped his steps, "There is a ferry in Xinglong County, a hundred miles south of Chuzhou City, which is most suitable for abandoning ships and pedaling. ”

"I've been gone for a day and a night, I'm afraid it's too late." Qing Jin was worried.

Yanran led two horses and waited outside the courtyard.

Looking at the white horse through the courtyard wall, I suddenly missed her snow. After a while, he said: "This year's heavy rain has caused Weishui to flow turbulently, and it is too late, if he really goes west against the water, it will be nothing if it is half a day late." ”

Before she could say anything, she had already left Shen Jun's yard and flew on horseback. With a light click, the horse is urged.

"Don't look at it, go far!" Shen Jun leaned on Qingjin's leg, and his red panda came out at some point, holding one of his short legs and being coquettish.

Qing Jin smiled faintly, "Young master, have you ever been on a boat?" ”

"No, when my grandfather and I entered Beijing from Phoenix, my mother was going to take a boat, and my grandfather said that he would take me and Zuo Ning to see the world, so he rode back by horseback." He sat on Qingjin's shoulder, and the sound of milk had not yet faded.

Qingjin coaxed him, "Then do you want to take the boat back?" ”

"It doesn't matter, but my mother said that the ship couldn't reach Jincheng." He has a good memory, Mu Qingyan only said it once, and he remembered it.

Qing Jin patiently explained, "It's okay, it's better to change horses in Xinglong Town." Young master, let's go too! ”

Shen Jun happily agreed, suddenly looked at his red panda, and asked reluctantly, "Can you go?" ”

"No, you can't ride a horse, just let it stay here for you to see your home, and we'll be back in ten days and a half months!" Qing Jin smiled, the red panda at his feet was holding his calf, and he dragged it forward, and he refused to walk by himself with a lazy step.

Mu Qingyan and the two ran non-stop for a day. After dark, they marched to Longquan Town, rested for two hours, and went west before dawn. There is only one official road here, which is built in the middle of the mountains.

After galloping for a day, he did not stop at the side of the road until the second watch, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so he had to rest the horses for half a night. The fourth watch got up and walked again, and finally at dusk on this day, he crossed countless mountains and went out of the mountain pass. From afar, I saw a large city built along the river, which was quite large.

"Master, will you go to the ferry first?" Yan Ran stopped her horse outside the city, turned back and asked the thoughtful Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan shook his head, "To go to Jincheng, you can only go ashore here to change horses, and you don't have to go any further." She shook the dust on her white clothes, a little embarrassed. Stay in the hotel first and act after dark. ”

The two rode into the town and stopped their horses outside the door of a more imposing inn.

"The shopkeeper wants two upper rooms!" Yan Ran slapped a piece of silver on the counter of the inn, looking fierce.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he hurriedly led the way in person, "Girl, please!" Young man, please! Nodding his head, he complimented him to the fullest.

"Feed the horses and give them more sorghum." Yan Ran glanced at the shopkeeper again before closing the door.

The shopkeeper was busy, "Yes, yes, let's go feed, don't worry, girl." ”

Mu Qingyan looked at Yanran who came in later with a smile, "Don't make such a fuss." ”

"Master, how do you know that you are out of the mountain if you don't make a fuss?" Yanran smiled and poured tea and handed it over, "You take a rest first, and your subordinates will inquire about the news first." ”

Mu Qingyan took two sips of tea, "You have to sail against the current in the waves, it's not so easy!" She put down the teacup and got up to the window, looking at the boiling water, "From here to the capital, it will be smooth for two days and nights." It will take at least twice as long to travel west from the capital, and it is hard to say if you encounter such a year again. ”

"This small city is really prosperous, more than twice as big as Longquan Town?" Yanran stood beside Mu Qingyan, looking at the large and small houses built along the river on both sides of the river, "I'm afraid it's about to be the size of Jinguan City." ”

Mu Qingyan nodded, "Among the twelve major cities of Eastern Chu, Jinguan City is the smallest, and Xinglong County is the largest among the twenty-four county cities. She raised her hand and pointed to the red light that was gradually lighting up by the river, "This is a ferry crossing that must be passed through in the west to enter Beijing, from here Weishui goes deep into the mountains, and it is uninhabited for three days." Therefore, all the ships that enter the capital by water must stop here for supplies, and the merchants also have to rest here, and the rows of red lights are lit up, which is probably the most prestigious gentle township in Xinglong County. ”

"A man doesn't have a good thing, and he can't forget that idea anywhere!" Yanran was angry, "The three wives and four concubines are not satisfied, wherever they go!" ”

Mu Qingyan smiled, "The one you fancy is an ice lump, and it can't be hot!" ”

Yanran's face was not very good-looking, and she was listless.

There was a knock on the door, and the guy brought a bucket of hot water up.

Yanran sent the guy away, and waited for Mu Qingyan to widen his clothes and soak in the water, "Go down and go back!" ”

Mu Qingyan dressed neatly after washing, and sat at the window looking at the direction of the ferry in a daze.

Half an hour later, Yanran returned.

"Master, the man has not yet arrived." She poured a cup of tea and said, "The people on the other side of the ferry said that there had been no boat on the water for several days, and that the water was so big and fast that no one dared to go." ”

Mu Qingyan said lightly, "I have the one who doesn't want to die, and being difficult doesn't mean that it can't be done, just wait!" ”

The shopkeeper saw Yanran's generosity, and personally brought dinner to the door.

The two of them didn't eat much, so they only picked a few light ones and used some of them and withdrew.

"You don't have to wait in the first half of the night, you can go back and rest!" Mu Qingyan urged Yan Ran, "Although my body is fine, but in the end, I have wandered between life and death, I really shouldn't be pulling thousands of miles long." ”

Yanran shook her head, "Master, this is the responsibility of your subordinates. You have always protected the people of the Dragon Pavilion, and we all miss your kindness! ”

"Are you not going to talk to him yet?" Mu Qingyan asked her tentatively.

Yan Ran's eyes instantly turned red, "I, I ......"

Mu Qingyan patted her on the shoulder, "Wait for this, I'll ask him for you if I find an opportunity." ”

"Master......" Yan Ran wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't be afraid, he is such a stuffy gourd, if you wait for him to speak, I'm afraid it's not much better than ascending to the sky. You don't need to worry, just go back to sleep, it's been a hard night. Mu Qingyan comforted Yan Ran.

Yan Ran nodded, "Master, I haven't seen you change in a few years!" ”

"Oh? What has become of it? Mu Qingyan asked her curiously.

Yan Ran pondered, "I am more calm and patient than before. ”

"Haha, you're saying I've always been impulsive, right?" Mu Qingyan's ruffian smile gradually climbed up the corners of his lips, and he squinted his eyes to look at Yanran.

Yan Ran immediately turned around and ran away as if she were rushing out of the door, not wanting to hurt her when she went out, "My subordinates really sympathize with that master!" ”

Mu Qingyan closed the door and crooked on the bed, and the master in Yanran's mouth seemed to have come out of his memory, and he stood on the edge of the bed and stared at him with a frosty face.

She put a pillow over her face in annoyance, refusing to admit that she missed him a little.

As the night wore on, the fatigue of days of horseback riding did not allow her to sleep peacefully. After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, she finally called his name softly in her heart, nostalgically opening his arms.

After the drum of the fourth watch sounded for a long time, she gradually fell into a dream.

She didn't know that Qin Yan was the same as her that night, although she drank the strongest wine in her Qingjing Winery, she was still thinking about her bitterly in the deep night, staring at the crook of the arm where she slept in the past, and her eyes were extremely gentle.

After receiving the letter, Wing King Mu Qinghan called the person who supervised the ferry and asked him carefully, but there was no rumor. He instructed Listen to the wind: "Let people go to the lower courtyards along the river and take a look, be careful." ”

Listen to the wind and promise to do it.

Half a month has passed, except for a few people who died at the beginning, Longmen County has not come to an uncontrollable end. Most of the people in the city who were secretly acting also fell into the trap of the Wing King and were secretly escorted to the capital.

As a result, Longmen County also cut off the exchange of information with the cities.

Yu Ran Qing was about to give birth, and he was a little worried. But he had to be in Longmen County, so he had to write a letter to his family every day to travel back and forth between the capital and Longmen County.

Jing Liang didn't have any news at all, but the secret envoy of You Long Xin Pavilion said that he spent every day drinking and was treated like a guest by the merchants. Mu Qinghan knows his character very well, which is a precursor to something big brewing.

Qin Yan's letters arrived from time to time, and he already knew about the garrison in Longquan Town. The problem now is that Chu Li's suspicious soldiers were stopped outside Liangzhou City, the main force was in the deep mountains, and the direction of Jincheng had to wait, not daring to besiege Beijing alone.

Although the rebellion of the three cities failed to become a trend, it also forced Chu Li to show his eyes in front of the world, and blatantly wanted to seize the throne of Eastern Chu. After Chu Jue inherited the throne, he completely washed the court, and most of the newcomers were used, which caused the original old ministers and nobles in the court to complain, and many people were persuaded by Chu Li.

Chu Jue didn't worry about the emperor's position, he didn't want to be an emperor in the first place. But after several years of conquest and stability, the Eastern Chu rivers and mountains have gone through everyone's wholehearted governance to have today's peaceful and prosperous world, even if he is unwilling, he can't give it up.

He lost his siblings, his parents' affection and his beloved because of this kingship who was in the spotlight of the world. In Mochou Lake on the Duanyang Festival that year, he jumped out of the boat to find Mu Qingyan, who had fallen into the water and disappeared, and just when he was almost desperate, the man waved to him with a smile on his face among the reeds on the opposite bank.

Her smile still can't be cleared in his mind, so calm, so pure, that it is difficult to say all his worries. Just because she knew his background from the beginning, he couldn't get rid of the descendant of the emperor for the rest of his life.

The men of the Mu family only marry one wife, and the same is true for the women, and they vow not to marry the royal family.

Her admiration was completely ignored by her, but she was able to lay down her life for his imperial hegemony.

If he is just Dongfang Fengjue, just a son of a family, he is her best choice. But all of this has turned into nothingness because of the emperor's position, and it is difficult to overcome the love disaster in a lifetime.

What about the emperor of Eastern Chu, he scoffed.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, Concubine Shu is still waiting for you!" Gonggong De personally carried the wind lantern to guide Chu Jue, followed by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs, and got the order of the queen mother to send the emperor and the concubine to the round house.

Chu Juetie entered Concubine Shu's bedroom with a blushing face. On the night of the wedding, Changchun Palace was destroyed, and Concubine Shu coveted Zhaoyang Palace in vain, so she had to move into the Fengyi Palace designated by Chu Jue.

In Fengyi Palace, the palace maid waiting at the door immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! ”

Chu Jue walked in indifferently, without saying a word, and without shouting at everyone to be flat.

Gonggong De watched the emperor enter the inner palace, beckoned everyone to retreat, "Go farther, wait outside the palace." He looked at the closed door and thought to himself: with the emperor's temperament, he probably wouldn't spend the night here.

Then he summoned a little eunuch and ordered: "Go back to the Chengqi Hall and prepare the water for bathing." ”

The little eunuch agreed and left.

He summoned one more and whispered, "Let the imperial dining room be prepared, it may be used tonight!" ”

In the end, it was the person sent by the Queen Mother, and he was fine everywhere.

Sure enough, before half an hour arrived, Chu Jue came out of Fengyi Palace.

"Father-in-law, the water for the bath will be sent to my dormitory!" He didn't stop, his back stiffened, he walked out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, crossed the Praetorian Guards guarding the periphery, and went to the front hall.

Father-in-law De agreed in a loud voice, and he trotted to follow, gesturing to everyone behind him.

Mama Yu quickly stepped into Fengyi Palace, and took Xipa to see the Queen Mother without mentioning it.

Chu Jue returned to his dormitory, kicked open the carved sandalwood lattice door, and after he entered the door, he turned around and kicked the door back. If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa De was stung and pulled, the door would definitely knock his nose crooked.

The bath barrel behind the screen was steaming, and Chu Jue shredded the robe on his body a few times, sank into the water, and disappeared for a long time.

"No, the old slave has to go in and take a look, there is no sound at all!" Father-in-law De stomped his feet outside the door uneasily.

Stunned, "The emperor is fine, you go and rest!" "He has been with Chu Jue for twenty years, and he still knows a little bit about his heart.

Just when Father-in-law De was chattering endlessly, Chu Jue opened the door and walked out. He had changed into a half-new robe that he had worn before, "Shock, go somewhere with me!" ”

"Yes!" The sting immediately responded.

"Your Majesty, it's almost four watches, but you want to go out of the palace?" Father-in-law De was so anxious that he circled around Chu Jue twice.

Chu Jue didn't pay attention to him, and shot away with light skills.

The stunned spun to follow, and the two figures disappeared into the night, one after the other.

Gonggong De knew that the emperor didn't like him to report everything to the queen mother, but today was a big day for the emperor and the concubine, and the emperor not only did not spend the night in the concubine's bedroom, but also went out of the palace. If there is a case, it is not enough for the Queen Mother to blame him for dying ten times.

Thinking about it and thinking about it, he couldn't make up his mind, he stayed in the Chengqi Hall until dawn and still didn't see the emperor come back, and finally had no choice but to go to the queen mother's bedroom again.

As soon as he left on his front foot, Chu Jue came back with a drunken body.

Those who came back with it were not only stunned, but also had a sealing offering.

Feng Sai watched him enter the dormitory safely, and without waiting for the stunned to turn around and thank him, he turned around indifferently and left.

Stung and touched his nose, secretly thinking: it doesn't matter if she is strange, even her person is so different, she is simply an ice lump.

"Shocked, let people wait for me to change clothes, it's time to go to court!" Chu Jue was drunk and confused, and he was crooked on the couch.

Shocked pushed the door in, "Your Majesty, as I said yesterday, today is a day off!" ”

Chu Jue sneered: "I forgot, I am the emperor of Eastern Chu, and I have to take a three-day break for the wedding, and even a round house has to take a day off, what else can't I do?" ”

He didn't call the little eunuch to come in and serve, he carried the drunk Chu Jue to the bed by himself, put down a layer of silk veil curtains, and quietly exited the door.

"Let people stay here, prepare tea and wait!" He instructed the emperor's close eunuch Rong Gonggong to yawn and enter the east chamber. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapters of "Jinyue Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
